Designed in 1913 by architect Charles E. Shippey for Elias H. Sellers, this stately Boston-Edison masterpiece enjoys a coveted position in the heart of the historic district, with prized Voigt Park frontage. Few homes so seamlessly marry historic preservation with rigorous modern updating — and this residence does both with exceptional grace. The main floor was thoughtfully laid out with the principles of Feng Shui in mind, creating an intuitive flow that feels both purposeful and serene. Magnificent original woodwork has been painstakingly restored, and historic character is evident at every turn — from exposed oak ceiling beams and stately wood moldings to a striking wood-burning fireplace that anchors the warm, inviting living room. The elegant dining room showcases beautiful Arts & Crafts oak built-ins, while sunlight pours generously through the formal living spaces throughout the day. Substantive, high-level improvements provide lasting peace of mind: a newer roof, boiler, and added structural support have all been completed while honoring the home's original integrity. Tasteful renovations extend to the kitchen and bathrooms, where modern appointments meet timeless aesthetics. Upstairs, the well-proportioned second floor offers four spacious bedrooms and three fully renovated baths, including a serene primary suite with a walk-in California Closet and an adjacent sitting room. A third-floor loft provides flexible space ideal as a fifth bedroom, home office, or bonus room. The home's more than 4,400 square feet unfold with effortless flow — equally suited to formal entertaining and everyday living. Eligible for the NEZ homestead 15 year property tax abatement program through the city of Detroit. Professionally landscaped grounds, a detached two-car garage, and a full basement round out this exceptional offering. Ideally situated within walking distance of neighborhood favorites including The Congregation and Gordon Park, and just minutes from New Center, Midtown, Milwaukee Junction, and Downtown Detroit.
